The emergency gates beneath the Metro. The buried switch stations are designed to fail clean when the earth moves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe trusts systems because people are harder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree years ago, Cal was underground on a maintenance call when his ex-wife died waiting for him at the hospital. His teenage daughter, Iona, has barely spoken to him since. Now the city’s earthquake warning grid starts firing in the wrong order. Trains brake where they should run. Flood channels seal shut. Whole districts go dark before the shaking even starts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomeone isn’t predicting a disaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomeone is building one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Los Angeles buckles into panic, Cal learns a private disaster contractor is using the emergency network to sacrifice one dense corridor of the city, then emerge as the only force capable of “saving” what remains. Iona is trapped inside the target zone. To reach her, Cal will have to move through collapsing tunnels, flooded stations, armed response teams, and one woman who helped design the trap—and may be the only person who can stop it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy dawn, the city will call it an earthquake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf Cal fails, it will be a massacre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"August Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45756579446841,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/4774\/5849\/files\/Seismic.jpg?v=1777325445","url":"https:\/\/augustpublishinghouse.com\/products\/seismic","provider":"August Publishing House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
